What is the best way to cross streams while backpacking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I'm curious of a good technique to cross a stream while backpacking that's above the boot's waterproof line but no higher than the knees. I typically face upstream and use my hiking poles for stability. However, I'm not a fan of soggy boots,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so I tend to go barefoot, which adds to the risk of slipping on slick rocks or stepping on a sharp edge. Is it best to wear the boots anyway and try to dry them by rotating socks? Or would a pair of camp shoes that quickly dry be a good option?
This is similar to this question, but less related to survival and more about typical backpacking trips. I'm often going solo and on well maintained trails,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but without a bridge at the streams. fall a tree).
If you feel unstable then put your rainfly on your pack and float it or,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at the least,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unbuckle the belt so you can ditch it if you go under the water.
When you step, wiggle your foot before putting weight on it. If it's slippery try a different footing.
If there are so many crossing that it's not practical to change,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I just hike in shoes.
Look for aerated shoes that will drain fast. Find something that's still a good fit. This will vary from person to person,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. It seems that everyone I meet uses something and swears by it and there is nothing else possibly better ever,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Test first. I do this with places that allow returns. I put the shoes on with socks and hose them until soaked. Then I walk five miles. If my feet hurt,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I return them. I do take care to not beat them up in that five miles.
We do Jack's River here in GA every year. Last trip I used these and they worked amazingly well for 16+ river crossings in 8 miles. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you have to buy what works for your feet. I tried on about a dozen shoes before I found these.
